Like most science students in the 1980s, I used FORTRAN often on a number of projects, not least because so many important numerical and legacy libraries were only available in FORTRAN. However, with the advent of symbolic algebra I soon discovered that one does well to let a computer and a symbolic algebra tool generate compilable, error-free, efficient FORTRAN (or any other desired low-level language) for you.

Java™ is currently my primary object-oriented programming language - always UML™-driven of course - and most of my work with XML and XML Schema is Java manipulated and generated. There is huge amount of information about, and educational examples of, Java on the Webel site; a good place to start is the WebelJava zone (leaves this resume trail).
